Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

One of the most watched events of the global sporting calendar, Wimbledon attracted a total audience reach of 26m people last year on the BBC, with 4.5m tuning in to watch the men’s final between Novak Djokovic and Kevin Anderson.
World No 1 Djokovic will of course be looking to retain his title, fending off the challenges from Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, with the former aiming to secure his ninth Wimbledon title.
Ashleigh Barty, the current French Open champion and world No 1, is one of the hot favourites to win the women’s title but of course will face stiff competition from Serena Williams and current Wimbledon champion Angelique Kerber.
The women’s and men’s finals are scheduled for 13 and 14 July respectively, with equal prize money pot of £2.35m available to the champions.
Here is how to catch all the action from Wimbledon across the next two weeks:
TV
The BBC will broadcast live action throughout the day across BBC One, BBC Two and on the BBC Red Button. A highlights package, Today at Wimbledon, will be aired at 8.30 pm BST on BBC Two every day as well.
Online
